Matt Eich

Matt Eich is a freelance photographer and founding member of Luceo Images. His work is rooted in memory, both personal and collective and he strives to approach every photograph with a sense of intimacy. He believes that stories are the fabric of history and that they have the power to inform and transform open-minded viewers.

Matt's clients include Newsweek, Mother Jones, TIME, The FADER, Smithsonian, More, The New York Times, US News and World Report, The Wall Street Journal, Apple, The Canadian Opera Company and others.

In 2009 Matt won POYi's Community Awareness Award, The Magenta Foundation's Bright Spark Award, was a finalist for the W. Eugene Smith Grant and was selected for the 16th World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass. Most recently he was awarded the 2010 Juried Fellowship at the Houston Center For Photography and is scheduled to have a solo show at The Houston Center For Photography in 2010.

Matt and his family now live in Norfolk, Virginia where he compulsively documents everything around him.

At twenty, photojournalist Matt Eich has maturity dropped in his lap: his world-class career takes off, just as his girlfriend becomes pregnant. Together they document their budding lives, as they grapple with some very grown-up choices.
